Sterilization surgery itself is safe, and the risk mainly comes from general anesthesia.

At present, pet surgeries generally use inhaled anesthetic drugs from the respiratory tract. Common complications mainly occur in the respiratory system, circulatory system and central nervous system, such as vomiting, suffocation, respiratory obstruction, insufficient ventilation, pneumonia and atelectasis, and hypotension. , irregular heartbeat, delayed awakening, etc.

However, with the continuous advancement of modern anesthesia technology, the above complications are becoming less and less.

How to reduce the risk of intraoperative anesthesia:

1. Do some routine hematology tests on your pet before surgery, including blood routine and biochemistry. The hematology test before anesthesia can not only check whether the indicators of the internal organs (liver and kidney function) of the animal are normal, but also clearly understand the condition of the whole blood cells in the animal, and check whether the animal has inflammation, anemia, platelet function and coagulation function abnormalities. , this is the most important step to ensure anesthesia safety and reduce anesthesia risks.

2. The doctor will formulate an anesthesia plan based on the specific situation of the dog. The anesthesia method, operation time, pre-anesthetic drug selection and emergency treatment of expected complications will all be arranged in advance.

3. During the operation, the doctor can fully judge the animal's condition with the help of the ECG monitor, discover potential risks as soon as possible, and protect the pet's life safety!
